Police were called to the couple's home on Thursday, March 1. TMZhad reported that McDermott, 51, had called 911 after his wife had allegedly become 'aggressive.'

Source believe the star's breakdown is due to the several financial setbacks she has suffered in the last year.

In November 2017, Spelling was ordered to appear in court over an unpaid $US220,000 judgment she owed to City National Bank, which sued her and McDermott for failing to pay back a $US188,000 loan.

In September, McDermott missed enough of his $US1500 monthly child support payments to his ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace, to risk jail time — after narrowly avoiding incarceration for the same offence in March 2017.
